[SOLVED] grub-mkconfig does not fully execute

Hello everyone

I got a new laptop, but decided to transfer SSD rather than installing a system from scratch.
Old laptop was using MBR, whereas a new one GPT, as I need windows too. I used gdisk to change partition table.
The partition table looks quite weird:
dev/sda1 - /
dev/sda2 - /home
dev/sda3 - /Windows10
dev/sda4 - EFI
Logically sda1 should have been EFI but I have no spare disks to move data around..
After a great battle with GRUB, I can load Arch and Win10.
Unfortunately, grub entries, and its look (I used grub customizer some time ago) remained unchanged, and cannot get rid of them
Each time I run grub-mkconfig, it displays an error, which I cannot solve.
Tried to reinstall grub, get rid of grub-customizer, and nothing works.

archlinux# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Generating grub configuration file ...

Sounds like you might be booting an old NVRAM entry.

Please post

efibootmgr -u

/etc/grub.d/proxifiedScripts/linux: line 198: version_find_latest: command not found

So remove /etc/grub.d/proxifiedScripts/. They sound bad. Where did they come from?

EDIT: I like Bradford. Very pretty place.

After deleting such folder, LS_linux and LS_custom, grub-mkconfig executed correctly. Sometimes the simplest solution is the hardest to find:D
And where this folder came from ..... I have no idea. This Arch install is from 2018. A lot of things and experiments have happened since

No, Bradford is not a nice place. Yorkshire Dales is much more beautiful;)
